So many question.

I dont know the proper name.. but can you get pre cut sportpack front wing?

And how easy to weld the front end.. like Grillie area, wings, and bonnet togother... As i might paying someone doing it? as i want to put on flip front.

Can you remove the "door Holder panel" Maybe called as A panel? and weld it to flip front or will i have problem closing it ???

and i would like to have a front end that open away... like new bmw mini? if you get my drift.

Would it hard to fit one? without welding skills.

What else do i need to get the flip front?

Brace bar.

What else?

And what kinds of tool i need apart from angle grinder.

I want to do this cheaply as possible.

As i only seen flip front pic from internet sites.

would having flip front affect handling characterastic of the car?

Sorry if im bit thicko.

Dodgy Dave and I would recommend you to talk to the Mini bodywork guru - thats Chris Spennewyn - on 01462 711080. What he doesn't know about Mini bodywork ain't worth knowing (agree, Dave?). He's in Hitchin and you won't get a better value for money or better quality job anywhere. He just loves Minis and owns two ex-works rally cars plus lots of other ones.
He does all the bodywork on my Mini and if you want to see what that looks like have a look in the current Mini Magazine at the rally Mini, CNX132B.
